So do the new lungs work as good as your original lungs when they were healthy. Would you say your lung function declining over time or staying about the same. Do you have any bouts with rejection they had to resolve. Also is it hard to keep from getting sick or colds like when you go out are you always careful. Glad its worked out well I'm just wondering some things about it from someone who knows.
@grobish Жыл бұрын
@@jamesrich8463 I’ve been very fortunate with my new lungs. Hard to say if they’re as good as the old ones since I’m 72. I spent one night in the hospital after an endoscopy. Had a fever so I stayed. Home next day. No signs of rejection so far. At least my lungs. [;0) at first I was paranoid as hell. Then I was able to relax a bit. Always carried a mask and was aware of someone showing signs of illness. Mostly though life was normal. Blood tests and doctors visits the only true inconvenience. I do have bouts of nausea from time to time. Not sure if it’s my meds or not. Then there was Covid. Didn’t go out for two years. The only real downside is that I think my donor may have passed on an allergy or two. Small price. 🙏
